Whatever happens in tonight’s New Hampshire primary – the mainstream media narrative is that Hillary Clinton will still be in a good position to win the Democratic nomination for president – mostly because she has a “firewall” of loyal African-American voters in the South.

As civil rights activist Shaun King points out in a new piece for the New York Daily News – black Americans are not a monolith – and Hillary Clinton doesn’t exactly have the greatest record when it comes to racial justice issues.
